Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

"If we can save him, we will; if not, we will abandon him. We will avenge him in the future."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan nodded, then transformed into origami and fell into the tower.

Nagato, however, looked into the distance...

Once the plan begins, Amegakure will have to be abandoned.

The existence of Akatsuki and Sora Uzumaki will only make this village an enemy of the entire world. Therefore, it's essential to sever ties with them.

To become the dark side of ninjas?

If that's the case, under the pressure of those eyes and the void, shouldn't the will to peace be able to be fulfilled?

And when that time comes, his mission should come to an end.

Yahiko... The right path has appeared. After fulfilling your will, I will follow my original destiny.

It all started with those eyes, and under the predetermined fate, you became the victims who shaped me.

The initial acceptance might have been a mistake.

……

"Boom boom boom..."

The sound of the detonating tags rang out in the lower levels of Amegakure, while the people in the upper levels seemed to take it all in stride and remained completely unmoved.

The commoners looked down, the merchants continued to tend their shops, and only a few ninjas discussed the matter.

"Is it those guys again?"

"They're just like rats in the sewers, so annoying."

"They come here once a week, and every time Lord Payne finds them, and then the angel kills them. I really don't know what the point is."

……

Amid the commotion, several children rushed over, grabbed the railing, and looked down.

"It's an angel!"

"I want to become a ninja like the angel someday..."

"Make way, I can't see!"

……

Seeing this, Jiraiya also went over. Among the children, there was a girl he recognized.

"Hydrangea?"

Hearing someone call her name, the little girl turned around and greeted them, "Is that the ninja uncle? Look, the angel is amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya walked over and said, "Aren't you afraid that the enemy will kidnap and threaten Lord Angel while you're all shoving around like this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several pairs of eyes turned to look at him at the same time.

Among them were several ninjas.

Jiraiya stopped in his tracks, apparently having said something wrong again.

"The angel won't be threatened. If she's kidnapped, as long as she helps us get revenge, that's fine!"

Jiraiya understood something from the hydrangea's answer.

The remaining ninja under Hanzo's command weren't stupid; their target was Pain. If the lives of the villagers couldn't be used as leverage, then they were useless.

Because their numbers were relatively small, they had no more opportunities after a few tries.

"I didn't expect you to have such a strong will at such a young age. It seems we can look forward to your future growth."

As they were talking, he sensed a familiar figure approaching from behind and placed a hand on Jiraiya's shoulder.

"I haven't seen you for the past few days. I have to go pick up a mission the day after tomorrow, so remember not to wander off."

The appearance of Meng, and Jiraiya's self-justifying answer, immediately drew everyone's attention away.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Jiraiya was about to say something to Meng to extract more information when he froze on the spot.

……

The bottom level of Amegakure Village, near the drainage outlet.

That light blue-purple hair, plus the origami wings behind her...

As the figure came into view, Jiraiya murmured, "Konan...?"

Her features haven't changed, she's just grown up, and Jiraiya recognized Konan at a glance.

but……

how come?

With his enhanced perception, Jiraiya frowned slightly.

If Nagato's Rinnegan is taken away for research, how could Konan, as his companion, possibly work for the rulers here?

The fact that someone could massacre Hanzo's entire family and burn their house to ashes is something that Yahiko, one of the three, would never approve of.

Those three disciples had always centered their attention around Yahiko.

"Boom boom boom...!"

At that moment, the detonation tags at the bottom exploded.

Several origami shuriken pinned the already severely injured Rain Ninja to the wall in an instant.

Xiao Nan slowly walked over and said in a deep voice, "How many of you are left?"

The Rain Ninja lowered her head and smiled: "Do you think I'd tell you? You guys think you can rest easy just by taking over Amegakure? Lord Hanzo will return, and that will be your death day!"

Xiao Nan shook her head slightly: "He can't come back. A person who has already been killed will only be killed again if he comes back."

"puff!"

Blood splattered everywhere, but not a single drop landed on Xiao Nan.

A paper shuriken had already pierced the man's chest.

Xiao Nan sighed...

It was just a routine inquiry. Anyone who still believes that Hanzo, who is called a demigod, can return can only be a die-hard fan.

There's no need to keep a guy like that around.

Then, Xiao Nan slowly looked up at the crowd gathered on the top floor.

one left.

Are you still openly and honestly watching yourself fight the enemy?

Feeling invincible?

However, judging from the chakra that Nagato sensed, he was just an ordinary genin.

"Shh!"

The next moment, origami wings unfolded on her back.

"You're very brave."

Outside the railing, Konan stared intently at Jiraiya.

As soon as those words were spoken, the people around instantly understood.

The ninjas wearing headbands of rogue ninjas from Amegakure surrounded Jiraiya, wielding kunai.

"You...you must have made a mistake?"

Meng looked around in confusion: "He's not an enemy! He's a genin from the village, just like me!"

The hydrangea on the other side was also stunned.

Could this ninja uncle actually be an enemy in disguise?

The angel is definitely right!

The next moment, the little devils also took out their kunai and stood ready for battle.

"Snapped."

Jiraiya placed his hand on Meng's shoulder, smiled, and said, "I'm not a ninja from this village. Pretending like this for the past few days has been quite tiring."

As he spoke, Jiraiya looked at Konan, his eyes filled with doubt and emotion: "Konan, it's been a long time."

???

Frowning, Konan looked at Jiraiya, and the next moment her gaze fell on his shadow.

"Toad Shadow Manipulation Technique?"

Jiraiya-sensei?

It seems they didn't give up after the incident six months ago, but waited until Nagato relaxed his guard before infiltrating again.

In that case...

That already reveals part of it.

If Akatsuki's attire hadn't been temporarily sealed away, Jiraiya might already know about the connection between Akatsuki and Amegakure.

In that case... the only option would be to kill him.

Thinking of this, Konan said to the gathered ninjas, "Disperse and go back. He is not an enemy."

Although they looked at each other in bewilderment, the ninjas dispersed, emboldened by their long-standing prestige.

Even those who were eager to watch the drama unfold, like Meng, were also pulled away.

"Jiraiya-sensei."

Xiao Nan's voice rang out.

At this moment, a figure slowly emerged behind the controlled genin.

Jiraiya reached out and helped the genin to his feet, then looked at Konan and smiled, "You're getting prettier and prettier, Konan."

Despite her teasing tone, Konan wasn't angry. Instead, she replied in a deep voice, "You shouldn't come here again. Just because you were able to leave last time, Jiraiya-sensei, doesn't mean you can get away unscathed this time."
